I finally got photos downloaded on my new computer that shows my bellydance / weight loss success story. The first photo is me at a size 12, the second is me at a size 6. This was not an overnight miracle by far, and it did not happen by bellydancing only. It was my new year's resolution last year to get in shape. I walked and hiked more as well. However, it was bellydancing that toned my muscles.

I am so proud of you and your obvious happiness about your accomplishment... excellent and nice of you to share with us your success... I so want to learn to bellydance, I love to dance and try to dance most days, but, for sure should learn bellydancing... when I go to Chicago I go to a club where inevitably the bellydancers invite me to shake it up with them and I really like it, lots of fun, indeed... take care, congrats, and, keep it going... great blog...

Thanks for the inspiration! I too have to drop a lot of pounds and hopefully I'll become slim within a year or two :)
Thanks so much to all of you! Adrienne, thanks - it's one of the first times I didn't set huge, unrealistic goals. I set out to do and discover activities and become more active. I had my boyfriend teach me to throw a frisbee, so now I have another fun way to burn calories and share something with him at the same time! I didn't starve myself, either. Realistic, long-term expectations allow for sensibe eating habits and occasional indulgements.
That is awesome.. congrats!!
Wow, you are so cute! Frankly I thought you were pretty cute at size 12!
Congratulations on a resolution completed!
What's for 2008?? :)
Thanks, FF! I don't think I was fat at a size 12, it's just that it started to go the wrong direction in the last few years. I knew I definitely needed to get healthier, and I didn't want to buy bigger clothes again. Obesity also runs in my family, and I was overweight in my pre-teen years - so I took action.
2008 - I'd like to become a better dancer, and I'd like to get organized!
CONGRATS to you from ALL at GO! Smell the flowers...
Brilliant!
